Show transcript
Our essay gives a logical argument that builds towards a conclusion.
The introduction gives the context of the polar regions while the first main paragraph begins to build the argument.
Throughout the essay, we connect ideas using a range of linguistic features and support ideas with evidence.
It is useful to orally rehearse our ideas before writing to reduce our cognitive load.
We use a formal tone in an essay because we want to sound authoritative.
